Product Description

(Avent) This bright yellow miniature hosta deserves a spot in the garden, as it will truly draw your eye to where ever it is planted. The leaf shape is similar to ‘Blue Mouse Ears’ yet a little lower growing with the same vigor. Hosta 'Sun Mouse' hybridized by Tony Avent holds its yellow color well into summer. Great for planting in troughs, containers and fairy gardens. Plant it in an area with morning sun or filtered shade for best yellow color. Lavender flowers appear in midsummer. One of the newer "Mouse" hostas.
